Metal waste & packaging

What do you sort as metal waste and packaging?

• Cans, jam jar lids, metal tubes for spreads, drink cans without a deposit, and aluminum trays should be sorted as metal packaging. Rinse away any food residue.
• Small metal items like nails, screws, knives, pots, and pot lids, among others, should be thrown in the residual waste.

Your own bin for metal and glass packaging

What happens to the metal you sort?
